Leigh’s Diecast Diary

Mattel confirmed their replicas of the 2008 Ferrari F2008s today. In 1:18 scale, Kimi Raikkonen (DC2801) and Felipe Massa (DC2802) will each cost £54.99, and in 1:43 scale (DC28401 and DC28402), each will cost £24.99.

Interestingly, Mattel only announced replicas of the Ferraris. We know that Norev will be picking up the Renault licence in 1:18, so this may unfortunately mean that Williams could join Honda, Red Bull, Toyota etc in not having a 1:18 licensee. Hopefully Minichamps will announce their 2008 F1 line-up soon and then we will know what’s what!
